“This
is now bone of my bones And
flesh of my flesh; She
shall be called Woman, Because
she was taken out of Man.”

Here
we have a man’s first words spoken to woman: the first words of a husband to a
wife. Adam essentially means that he believes the truth that he and his wife
are so spiritually, mentally, emotionally and physically connected that it is
like they are one person. This is grand, intimate poetry.
